BY our SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.

President Turner, before announcing
the action of the Faculty of last
Saturday, in reference to the intoxi-
cation of few students, said he had
hoped that he would not be obliged
to perform such disagreeable duty

sent home for similar offenses. He
said it was not only a disagreeable
duty but even painful duty, but
he was obliged to perform it to carry
out the implied wishes of the parent.

noble address, teeming with good
advice, and it penetrated deeper into
the hearts of the young men than all
the rules or threats that the Faculty
can make We hope the President
will make such addresses frequently,
even though no rules have been
broken. In fact, let the whole Fac
ulty impress the thought presented
by the President that they individu-
ally and collectively are the student $
friend rather than his task master.
We know it is their wish to have the
good will Of the student and be his
friend, but he is not always so i'm
pressed.
Since a notice has been posted
that the Junior is required to hand

The managers Of the Ford Elocu-
tionary Entertainment have made a
happy hit. They might have scat
tered posters, flooded the town with
press notices, papered every house
in town with Autographs and sta
toned a cadet at every house to sing
of the qualities of the celebrated
elocutionist; yet for all this, he
would have received no audience
here. Although the entertainment
is November 18th, there has already
been a rush for tickets since his
name has been coupled, in the Athe-
naeum, with men of influence such
as the managers, ticket agents, ush-
ers, etc.

few days.
The Faculty at their meet
ing last Saturday morning had be
for them several students for intoxi
cation. We do not know all the
facts in the case and consequently
cannot say whether their punishment
was just or unjust. We thought the
punishment rather severe in one in
stance. However, the Faculty il
more likely to be just and lenient
than unjust or severe.
